Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) and a method for repairing a defective pixel in the LCD is provided, where a width of a sustain electrode line is reduced or no sustain electrode line is provided for the purpose of ensuring an increased aperture ratio. The LCD includes a gate line, extending in a first direction, and a data wiring being insulated from the gate line. The data wiring includes a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a data line extending in a second direction. A pixel electrode is connected to the drain electrode via a contact hole, and a sustain electrode line is formed in a substantially the same plane as the gate line and has a sustain electrode overlapped by the contact hole.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a first substrate including a display area displaying images and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, a common pad formed in the peripheral area of the first substrate, an insulating layer formed on the common pad and having a common contact hole exposing the common pad, an assistance common pad formed on the insulating layer of the peripheral area and contacting the common pad through the common contact hole, a second substrate corresponding to the first substrate, and a common electrode formed on the second substrate, and a conductive sealant disposed between the assistance common pad and the common electrode of the peripheral area, the conductive sealant electrically connecting the assistance common pad and the common electrode, wherein the common contact hole is disposed between the conductive sealant and the display area.
